Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2-3 lb ground beef
2 large onions, chopped
1 box pillsbury hot roll mix
1 medium head cabbage, chopped
1 can(s) sauerkraut, drained very well
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
lots of salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Brown your ground beef with your chopped onions, chopped cabbage, minced garlic and sauerkraut that has been drained VERY well.
  • 2. You will want to stir your ground beef mixture often to make sure your cabbage is cooking well. This mixture will shrink down in size. Once meat is brown, turn down heat and continue to cook about 15 minutes.
  • 3. Remove meat mixture from burner and either allow to cool in pan or pour into a large bowl to cool COMPLETELY. Mixture needs to be cooled all the way before filling dough.
  • 4. While meat mixture is cooling, prepare hot roll mix according to package directions. Allow it to rise in greased bowl in a warm place in your kitchen. Again, just follow the directions on the box.
  • 5. Once the dough has had time to rise, flour a surface and remove the dough from the bowl. Cut the dough in half, then cut the halves in half. This will give you 8 pieces. If you want to make smaller Krautburgers, cut them down to make 10 or 12. I always make 8 or 10 but no smaller.
  • 6. Flour your rolling pin and roll out a piece of dough one at a time. Roll it out into a fairly thin circle. Place 3/4-1 cup meat mixture in the center. Fold over the 2 sides and then bring up the top and bottom.
  • 7. Place seam side down on a greased cookie sheet or baking pan. Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise in a warm spot for about 20-30 minutes more. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 8. Remove from oven and take a stick of butter or margarine and rub over the tops to coat completely. This will keep the dough from getting hard and make them extra yummy. Enjoy!
  • 9. ***Many people dip these in mustard and some dip them in ketchup. Find what you like. I mix the 2 together. They are delicious without any condiments at all as well.***

Tips:

  • Fresh cabbage adds a slight sweetness to the patties, but feel free to use store-bought sauerkraut for a more traditional taste.
  • Adding bacon to the patties not only provides more savory flavor, but also helps hold them together.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with spices to create your own unique flavor profile. Paprika, cumin, and garlic powder are all great additions.
  • Be sure to cook the patties over medium heat to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as ketchup, mustard, relish, or mayonnaise.

Conclusion:

These easy-to-make sauerkraut burgers are a delicious twist on classic burger. With the addition of cabbage, they are packed with flavor and satisfying. Plus, they can be made ahead of time and are perfect for picnics or parties.
